In the terminal, what does "mount" (or 'sudo mount' if necessary) return
?
How does your /etc/fstab file look ?

Since you have a backup drive, would you consider formatting sdb to a
linux native filesystem (use ext3 preferably) instead of using a
half-baked userland driver, as needed to access NTFS on linux ?
You wouldn't be using HFS (the Mac FS) or EXT2 on Windows, right ? --If
you'd do, you'll get into trouble sooner or later.

Obligatory disclaimer: FORMATTING ERASES YOUR DRIVE CONTENTS. Do not
format before you are certain the backup drive is up-to-date and valid.
Do not format with the backup drive connected to the machine; tuck it
away safely until the dust has settled.
